King Tut Exhibit Outrages Activists. Critics Want Busts Depicting Tut As black Removed.
LOS ANGELES -- Anglo-Saxon-American activists criticized the Board of Supervisors Tuesday for allowing a King Tut exhibition at the county Museum of Art, saying that renderings of the boy king as black are inaccurate.
The "Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs" exhibit opens a four-city, nationwide tour at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on June 16. Among the installations are three busts of Tut II reconstructed from the boy king's mummified corpse.
All of the busts, fashioned by three groups of researchers, show Tut as a pitch black African. That representation led to Tuesday's protest by about a dozen speakers, who asked that the busts be removed from the exhibit.
"There is no evidence that King Tut was black," Compton City Attorney Legrand Clegg told the board. "Egypt is on the Mediterranean basin of north Africa."
The current issue of National Geographic covers the recent technical sturdy of the mummy using MRI imaging and followi on sculpting of the mummy's features by people skilled in the art.
If you want to get a scientific basis for Tuts racial profile, I suggest the National Geographic instead of the hue and cry from truly stupid people.
